Live Action‘s Lila Rose began her mission to raise awareness about the slaughter of unborn children and expose Planned Parenthood’s practices while a student at the University Of California at Los Angeles.

She’s gone undercover as a minor impregnated by her adult boyfriend at local Planned Parenthood clinics, and caught employees on tape advising her to lie about her age and ignoring the statutory rape. Employees have been caught on tape lying about fetal development.

Lila Rose has been the subject of many blog posts at LBC, and I urge you to go over to First Things and read her story. An excerpt:

“I posed as a young, scared, pregnant girl, fifteen years old, the victim of a twenty-three-year-old statutory rapist. The Planned Parenthood staff told me, into our hidden cameras: ‘Figure out a birth date that works.’ Lie about your age on the paperwork. Say you are older than you really are. We will give you a secret abortion, and no one will ever know.

“The YouTube videos we made of our tapes went viral. Planned Parenthood threatened to sue me—an eighteen-year-old college freshman. I remember returning to my dorm room to find a personal email from the California director of Planned Parenthood, informing me that if I did not ‘relinquish the tapes’ of my investigation to the organization, it would sue me for privacy violations of its employees. With less than $200 in my bank account, threats to sue me for ‘$5,000 for each offense’ might have seemed daunting if I had not had a deep sense that God, as he always does, would use this only for good.

“And, of course, he did. Because of the threat of the lawsuit and the added media attention, I had my first O’Reilly Factor interview—and, after the bad press, Planned Parenthood did not pursue the threat of the lawsuit. This inspired me to think even more carefully and work even harder to come up with more projects to expose the dark heart of the abortion industry.

“My summer vacations turned into summer research projects—undercover investigations into abortion clinics across the country. In the summer of 2007, we investigated six different Planned Parenthood development departments, talking with directors of development and other staff to see whether rumors of Planned Parenthood’s racism were true.

“Planned Parenthood has historic ties to the now-discredited eugenics movement in the United States. More recently, abortionists have worked hard to reach out to minorities. This is reflected in skyrocketing abortion rates among minority women. African-American women account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population but submit to nearly 37 percent of all abortions. Approximately 80 percent of abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods. Although most people in our country do not know it, such a heavy abortion rate among minorities was planned and desired by the founders of Planned Parenthood, particularly by founder Margaret Sanger, an open racist and eugenicist.

“Sanger is still revered by pro-abortionists. Are her policies still in circulation? We decided to investigate.”
